So, car is liscensed, has a title, and should be drivable.
Except my new, zero miles, master cylinder is leaking. OKay, no biggie. I order another new one from Pelican, and spend today getting it installed. I hate those reservour lines! So, new master is installed, fresh fluid in the system, time to bleed it. Hook up the long tubes, crack off the rear passenger side bleeder valve (which is also new - zero miles) and it is stripped. Drip. Drip Drip. I had taken a 1/2 day off work Tuesday to get my car aligned. Drip drip drip. Monday I have a 17 hour day. I won't even be able to look at my car. Drip drip. No way to stop it. Frusterated. Tired. Head is spinning from laying on a creeper too long. No one around here stocks the bleeder screws for my 914, and if Bug World is not open (as is the norm) I'll have to wait until the end of the week for them to be ordered. Fucking car simply will not let me get it on the road. I can only hope, at this point, that I can come up with a bleeder valve tuesday after work. I am so close, and it feels like my car is just trying to find things to throw at me. Zach |
